Experimental and numerical studies on solute transport in unsaturated heterogeneous porous media under evaporation conditions
(2012-08-31)
Groundwater level rise, root water uptake, or evaporation induces local upward water and solute fluxes in soils, causing soil salinization and rise of contaminants to the soil surface, and influencing the migration of ...
Spatiotemporal dynamics of stress factors in wheat analysed by multisensoral remote sensing and geostatistics
(2007)
Plant stresses, in particular fungal diseases, basically show a high variability in space and time with respect to their impact on the host. Recent ‘Precision Agriculture’ techniques allow for a spatially and temporally ...
Mining and small-scale farming in the Andes: Socio-environmental roots of land-use conflict
(2020-04-08)
The Peruvian Andes are one of the most important water sources for the country. Therefore, their exploitation might pose critical threats for local farming activities, national economy, and water quantity and quality. At ...
Linking slopes to the wetland: Hillslope hydrology and associated nitrate transport in a tropical valley bottom wetland
(2022-11-07)
Valley bottom wetlands are regarded as a white hope for enhancing food security in East Africa. Due to their prolonged water availability, they buffer some of the effects of climate change and further offer fertile soils ...
